"Is this really not what Lu Wu meant?" Lin Zhong confirmed again.
"Of course, if my master valued glory and wealth, why would he go far away?" Tang Chi insisted.
Of course it was not Lu Wu's intention to invite Feng Bojun, but Tang Chi didn't know whether Lu Wu valued glory or wealth.
According to Lu Wu's initial performance, he naturally didn't take glory and wealth seriously, but now he uses various means to pull out all the money from the bottom of the cauldron, uprooting the Jiang family's influence, no, the entire Nanhe Prefecture's aristocratic influence, from the military. Such means Scheming, how does he look like someone who doesn't care about power?
But of course Tang Chi couldn't say that at this moment, otherwise, how would the Wu Kingdom be willing to grant Lu Wu the title of uncle?
If Luwu really becomes a climate and bites him back - compared to Chu, Wu and Yue are weak persimmons - wouldn't that be a disaster that was raised by the family?
"That's not bad. Xiao Wu has been a lazy playboy since he was a child. If things hadn't come to his head last time, he would probably have stayed in the farm sleeping and fishing." Lin Zhong stroked his short beard under his chin and said with a smile.
Lin Zhong had a different relationship with Lu Wu. He jumped out to question him in order to make Tang Chi tell him that inviting Feng Bojun was definitely not Lu Wu's intention.
Now that he had achieved his goal, Lin Zhong proved from the side that Lu Wu had no ambition.
"What do you think, dear princes?" King Wu Ketu asked.
"I think it's inappropriate!"
Sikong Wenjun came out and said loudly:
"I believe that General Lu is a fighting general of the Wu Kingdom. Even if he travels away to study, he will eventually return to the country and become a pillar of our Wu Kingdom sooner or later. Now General Lu is forced by the Chu Kingdom and has to fight to the death. We will seal him at this time. For Bojun, letting him establish a country on his own will cut off General Lu’s retreat!”
"Da Si's empty words make sense!"
"It's better to leave a way of retreat for General Lu."
Most of the civil servants on the right side supported the opinion of Sikong Wenjun.
In fact, these people did not have any friendship with Lu Wu, but they just refused to meet Lu Wu, which led to the military power becoming more powerful. As for using some beautiful words that seemed to be for Lu Wu's sake, they used some beautiful words to achieve the purpose of opposing Lu Wu - -If you can't even do this, then why should you be an official?
Like Lu Jinhe, a doctor who has a noble title but no specific official position, isn't it good to be a rich man?
"I thought Lu Wu should be granted the title of Bojun!" General Luo Gan stood up from behind the desk and glared at Sikong Wenjun angrily.
"Zhenjiang Mansion is the old place of our Kingdom of Wu. Now it has fallen into the hands of General Lu. This is a gift from God. We must not miss this opportunity. However, the Kingdom of Wu is restricted by etiquette and law and cannot justifiably send troops to support Lu Wu. If Lu Wu is granted the title of Bojun , then Zhenjiang Prefecture can be accepted as a vassal state, and sending troops to support it is in line with etiquette and law."
"If we miss today, how long and long will it take for us to cross the river and regain our homeland?"
Ma Pin, the imperial envoy's doctor, stood up, bowed his hands to King Wu Ketu, and said. "The general's words may not be arbitrary. Now that taxes from various places have been transferred to Songjing, it can be seen that the situation has been decided. My king, Ketu, will work hard to govern, and the Wu State will work together, and the national strength will flourish. On the other hand, Chu State, in the face of Yan and Qi, will Already exhausted, even with millions of armors, he could not protect himself - General Lu took Zhenjiang Prefecture alone. Although General Lu is brave, it can be seen that Chu is a strong country outside the country. We, Wu Guang, will be able to restore the old country, just around the corner!"
"Exactly, all the sages in Zhenjiang Prefecture must have a conscience for their homeland, so they fully support General Lu."
"Yes, if the people of Zhenjiang Prefecture didn't care about their homeland and fully support it, how could General Lu be able to control the territory of a prefecture if he was so young and illiterate in martial arts and martial arts?"
There is something in this saying, which means that Lu Wu was taken advantage of by the people of Zhenjiang Prefecture.
It was not him who conquered Nanhe Mansion at all, but Nanhe Mansion itself wanted to rebel against the Wu State, and just used Lu Wu's sign to defraud the Wu State for assistance.
As soon as these words came out, the expression on the imperial doctor Ma Pin's face suddenly changed slightly - this is a pig teammate!
The censor is responsible for keeping track of the movements of the courtiers, and can hear about the affairs. They are usually controlled by the king and serve as a weight in the balance of power in the court - in other words, these people can criticize whoever is stronger. .
The censor doctor has no control over the censors below, and is only a nominal leader. However, everyone's stance on suppressing the military is basically the same at the moment - but the problem is that everyone has different information.
"Wait a minute, we do respect Lu Wu as the general, but we have no intention of being arrogant at all, but truly join the general's sect - only the general can resist the Chu State and allow us to protect the family ancestral hall.
In order to unify the military power to fight against the Chu State, and to avoid suspicion, we have withdrawn all our children from the army, leaving only direct bloodline members to join the general's personal barracks and protect the general. "
"Currently, all military power in Zhenjiang Prefecture is in the hands of the General. If this does not count as our sincere surrender, then I don't know how to tell the difference."
Tang Chi spread his hands and said.
There are too many people who know about this kind of thing involving the distribution of power, and it is absolutely impossible to hide it from those who are interested. What's more, Tang Chi said so on the Wu side. If the Chu country fights back, he will definitely say that it was taken by Lu Wu. Military power had to be coerced into rebellion.
Anyway, whatever is best for you.
In the hands of these experts who are good at manipulating words, even the truth can be interpreted from different angles to have completely opposite meanings - it all depends on the needs.
"I can prove this!" Luo Gan said.
Being slapped in the face on the spot, the civil servant's morale suddenly dropped a bit.
"Don't miss this opportunity, please make a clear decision, Your Majesty!" Luo Gan struck while the iron was hot.
"This matter is of great importance and should not be decided lightly. Today, all the ministers will go back and consider it carefully and discuss it tomorrow." King Wu Ketu did not make a decision immediately, but delayed it for a while.
The matter of Lu Wu Fengbo not only involves the rise and fall of many forces in terms of space, but also has the difference between short-term interests and long-term interests in terms of time-not to mention that most civil servants have their own selfish motives, and they are silenced by the military. , but the reasons they mentioned were not fabricated out of thin air.
The stakes involved in this are so complicated that even if King Wu Ketu has gradually mastered the secret of being a king, it will be difficult to understand them all at once, so it is better to drag it out for a day and find some wise people to analyze it together.
What's more, even if you agree to grant Lu Wu the title of uncle, you still have to prepare for the follow-up affairs of the title - who to send? What is a ban? What are the benefits? The agreement between the vassal state and the suzerain state? How does Wu State support? Can we get control of Zhenjiang Mansion from Lu Wu?
Now that Lu Wu is granted the title of Bojun and can establish an independent country, will the positions of the two senior officials of the Lu family be taken back?
At least Lu Wu's title of Jinwu doctor must be taken back. It's not that Ketu was reluctant to part with a doctor's fiefdom, but he made the king of his uncle a doctor of his own country. That was not a reward, but an insult.
All these items must be prepared in advance.
Moreover, his mother Mingji is the only person he truly trusts. For such a big matter, he must listen to his mother Mingji's opinion.
